Posture is everything!

Many common pains are due to muscular imbalances causing postural issues. This includes issues such as back, hip, knee, neck and shoulder pain as well as headaches!  With a postural analysis and corrective exercise program these issues are often remedied and the pain diminishes or goes away all together! That's why when you train with Flynn the Fitness Coach the first stage is postural analysis/corrective exercise program. There's no point in launching straight into a standard strength training regiment if you have these issues (and let's be honest, at a certain age we all have something that needs fixing!).  

The benefits of good posture are many!

• Keeps bones and joints in the correct alignment so that muscles are being used properly.
• Helps decrease the abnormal wearing of joint surfaces.
• Decreases the stress on the ligaments holding the joints of the spine together.
• Prevents the spine from becoming fixed in abnormal positions.
• Prevents fatigue because muscles are being used more efficiently, allowing the body to use less energy.
• Prevents backache and muscular pain.
• Contributes to a good appearance.

To Achieve Good Posture You Will Require the Following:

• Good muscle flexibility
• Normal motion in the joints
• Strong postural muscles
• A balance of muscles on both sides of the spine
• Awareness of your own posture, plus awareness of proper posture which leads to conscious correction.
